The Experience

So we are a hostel. And a hostel is the place we go to have a good time when travelling. Reception is the heart of the hostel and for everybody to have fun, there's lots of backstage work. This position is all about that: taking care of the whole backstage to help people have the time of their lives. And if you love people, you pretty much know that if everyone is having their best time because of your hard job, you are the one who wins ;)

The hostel was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had. From the staff to guests everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming making São Paulo my favorite place in Brazil.

The hostel was an unforgettable and amazing experience for me as a traveler and Worldpacker. I had the opportunity to meet amazing people, practice multiple languages, learn new skills, build very strong relationships with locals and foreigners. This is a special place in São Paulo and I will always recommend it to other travelers and volunteers. Clear tasks, good environment, clean, great location, great team and a lot of good memories. My greatest appreciation and gratefulness to all the team in the Bar and hostel staff, I will come back to visit and try the new pool! Love u mi Gente!

My experience in the hostel was great, I even extended my stay of 1 week. I was working at the bar the hole time, it was a nice job with veeeery nice coworkers (♥️). My biggest fear when I arrived there was the fact that I didn't speak Portuguese, but this wasn't a problem, most of the team and the guests speak very well English ! the hostel is a big and dynamic hostel, it's the best place to be if you want to meet great people and party a lot ! 🙃
